"Rodrigo Bentancur has been given a 7 game ban for using a racial slur about Son. Plus a £100,000 fine for a breach of FA Rule E3 in relation to a media interview."
That's a crazy ban. For anyone who has seen the clip it was quite clearly a joke, but in any case the club dealt with it and Son accepted his apology.
Meanwhile Enzo Fernandez sang a racist song about French players, nothing done, and Thomas Partey is still playing football despite multiple rape allegations against him.
Without commenting on the rights and wrongs of the punishment, there's something incredibly Spursy that they end up losing a player for 7 league matches, after he said something about a teammate rather than an opponent...
The incident happened in his own time and so, as he plays in England, fell under the jurisdiction of the FA - unlike the situation involving Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez.
Fernandez was on international duty when he posted a video - which the French Football Federation (FFF) said included an alleged "racist and discriminatory" chant - of Argentina celebrating winning the Copa America, and is being investigated by world governing body Fifa.
Yeah, I know the technicalities, but its still a mystery how FIFA have done absolutely nothing.
To be honest, its no surprise at all. Aren't they the organisation that fined a player more for flashing the brand name of his pants than for racial chants against England's black players?
So Pep has extended his contract for another two years and there are strong rumours that Haaland is about to extend his contract as well to become the leagues highest earning player.
Can't imagine either would be renewing if City were about to lose their court case, so surely this means they're going to be found not guilty?

Probably going to be called guilty, but then a counter claim or whatever is made and they drag it out another 18 months or so, covering their asses for another couple of seasons

I think they'll end up with a fine for the non-cooperation and that will be it.
Meant to add, we're always in games against teams who play football. We struggle against teams that sit 11 behind the ball and play on the break. We've had that problem since Redknapp left, even under Poch.

15 point deduction for Everton
Here he is, about to give a statement......

Bloody ignorant comments and hopefully learns from his actions.
The only mystery is how Enzo Fernandez has escaped punishment for something just as bad if not worse.

Getting worried, they need to find a win or two, else they'll sack their excellent Manager
liverpool Arsenal or Chelsea’s title ffs
hate football
Going forward isnt the problem. We'll always create and we'll score goals. Kulusevski has been outstanding again.
At the back, we look like we could concede at any point.
Its not great for the blood pressure but we're not a boring watch any more
